UserID=MDT
UserPassword=P@ssw0rd
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
Listing 4.2: Additional Rules in Bootstrap.ini.
The additional settings specified in Listing 4.2 are:

SkipBDDWelcome – Setting this value to YES bypasses the MDT Welcome Page when the boot media is
launched.

These settings are used to specify the credentials used by the boot media to connect to the deployment share.
o UserDomain
o UserID
o UserPassword
Note: Credentials specified in the bootstrap.ini and customsettings.ini files are stored in plaintext on the MDT
boot media. It is recommended to use a local user account dedicated to deployment processes that has read-
only permissions to the deployment share.
After the deployment share is created and configured with the desired rules for automation, you then supply the
installation files for the operating system. Import the source files for the operating system to be deployed to the
reference system, which is detailed in the
Importing an Operating System section in Chapter 3 .
Creating a Reference Deployment Task Sequence
You have now configured the deployment share for automation and supplied source files for the operating system to be
deployed to the reference system. Contrary to the manual deployment scenario discussed in Chapter 3 , for the
reference deployment scenario, the task sequence includes additional steps to automate the deployment and
installation of Windows Updates. To create the reference deployment task sequence, begin by following the procedure
shown in the
Creating the Deployment Task Sequence section of Chapter 3 , but then customize according to the
instructions in this section.
Note: Because the SkipAdminPassword rule is set to a value of YES, the user is not prompted for a password at the time
of deployment, so it must be specified in the task sequence.
After the reference deployment task sequence is created, additional behaviors or customizations can be specified. To
open the task sequence, expand the Task Sequences section of the deployment share and double-click the task
sequence. The properties of a task sequence include these three tabs:

General – Contains the name, comments, and target platforms of the task sequence. The task sequence can also
be enabled or disabled from this tab.

Task Sequence – Contains the steps to be performed by the task sequence.
